Subject: How to - Scan a Windows machine for virus from a Linux machine
Hello,
Does anyone know an AV program to scan for viruses on remote machines
(from a Linux machine to several Windows machines on the same LAN), I
am using CLAMAV for my Linux box but haven't found the way to
accomplish the stated above. I've hear about Knoppix and F-Prot but
the Windows machines I would like to scan doesn't have a CD-ROM unit
nor a floppy unit :( so I really need to scan for viruses over the
network.
Each Windows machine have their AV (BitDefender) running and up to
date and Ad-Ware scheduled to run twice a week. Still I would like to
offer more protection by running an AV remotely from a dedicated
machine.
You could try mounting the built-in administrative shares for the
Windows machine on your Linux machine, then scanning the mounted
folders.
mount -t cifs -o username=whateveryourwindowsnameis
//windowsmachine/c$ /mnt/share
If you do not provide it a password on the command line, it will
prompt you for one. I believe (but could be wrong) that you must be
root to do this. If there's a way to do it as a regular user, tell me
how. :)
